An open letter to independent scholar Mr. Wang Dongyue

I have recently seen a lot of videos of your speeches on the Internet. I was shocked at first, and admiration, envy and admiration flooded into my heart. You talk about the unification of Qin Shihuang from ancient times, from hundreds of schools of thought to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, from Confucianism and Taoism to the philosophy of Lu Wang, from Western philosophy to the cultural differences between China and the West, from human clan society to farming civilization, from feudalism Society talks about capitalist society, from the four great inventions to the most cutting-edge scientific and technological theories...and so on.

Until you say, "Trying to use Buddhist culture and Buddhist thoughts to save the world is purely wishful thinking." Until you talk about the "universal law of degenerative compensation". Until you say "your research and theoretical ideas are useless." Until you say, "You are a pessimist and have no hope for the development of mankind and human society." Until this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of pity from the bottom of my heart. I suddenly felt that you, Wang Dongyue, an independent scholar, was pitiful and pathetic.

What is pitiful is that you have worked so hard to read so many books and studied so hard for so many years, but in the end they are all useless conclusions. You have spent most of your life on these useless things, but you have achieved nothing. income. What is pitiful is your pessimism. You have worked hard to study and study, but you cannot see any hope for the future of human society and human civilization. What's sad is that as an independent scholar like you, you seem to know everything, but you haven't really gone deep into anything. When you really dig into it, you actually know nothing. The so-called evidence of a large amount of information in your opinion is just that you read the so-called knowledge from Baidu like a press release, and then used your own associations to draw your wrong conclusion. Sadly, the law of degenerative compensation you proposed is full of loopholes. Can you think about it yourself before preaching it? The sad thing is that your own wrong conclusion is the first thing that traps you. Therefore, you are wrongly pessimistic, wrongly pessimistic about yourself, mankind, and human society. You will also wrongly guide other people who are confused by your theory, trap the collective thinking of the people, and even seriously hinder the normal development of society.

As for your wrong views and thoughts, let me first talk about Buddhism. Do you, Wang Dongyue, really understand Buddhist culture? Have you really read the history of Buddhism in India and China? Have you ever truly practiced the wisdom of Buddhism? If you search for some Buddhist knowledge on Baidu, you will think that you understand it all, and you will simply come to the wrong conclusion that those who want to use Buddhist culture and Dharma to cultivate and save the world are purely wishful thinking. Have you ever studied Socrates? Socrates famously said that the greatest wisdom of human beings is to know that they have no wisdom. Since you know that you are an independent scholar and your greatest wisdom is your lack of wisdom, are you slapping yourself in the face by drawing such a wrong conclusion? You clearly know that Buddhism transcends matter, transcends thought, transcends perception, and transcends everything. You yourself have not attained enlightenment, you have not possessed wisdom, but you have made rash conclusions. Where is your rigorous attitude towards scholarship?

Let’s talk about the theory of degenerative compensation that you racked your brains to put forward. You said that the lower the level of things, the higher the existence and the more stable they are, and the higher the level of things, the lower the existence and the more unstable. I would like to ask you what is the most advanced thing in the world? Is there anyone else besides us humans? If you admit that it is, then I would like to ask you, there are currently more than 7 billion humans on the earth, and those animal species that are lower than us humans and are becoming extinct every day, which one has the higher degree of existence? Which one is unstable? So have you considered the theory you proposed? Why do you, as an independent scholar, ignore this kind of flaw that can be found even with your toes? Is it because you are unconventional, unique, and a blockbuster?

For reasons of space, if you have any other opinions and ideas, I would like to chat with you in person. But what I want to tell you in the end is that I am full of hope for myself, Chinese society and human civilization. My study, research and cultivation are useful to myself, society and mankind. I believe that through Buddhist practice, we can solve the problem of individual life and death of all sentient beings. Through Buddhist culture's promotion of the truth, goodness and beauty of cause and effect, society can be made more harmonious. Through the output of improved Buddhist culture and Buddhist teachings, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can be achieved, and a community with a shared future for all mankind can be established. I sincerely hope that you can join our team, put aside all your pessimistic arguments and pessimism, rekindle your hope for life, society and mankind, and do your best to bring human civilization to a higher level.

Sincerely

Salutes

The Chinese New Year is coming, I wish you a Happy New Year!
